what kind of aircraft partnership are you looking for.

Don't worry about the cylinders. Oil needs to be warm enough though. With my Turbo Bonanzas, it can take as long as 15 minutes before I can takeoff. I don't let the RPM's exceed 1200 RPM until at least in the yellow arc and I won't take off until in the green

I think there is an element of fraud involved here that the FAA is overlooking. Blackbird told pilots they were working directly with the FAA and that their pairing software is totally legal and approved by the FAA. Having someone call you up and say "hey I'm leasing this airplane and I was told...

I fly and manage two Factory Turbo BOs. Great airplanes. Super reliable. In the last year I put a combined 550 hours on them with nothing but oil changes and brake liners. But to make the engine last you will be planning 170 without oxygen, 180 with cannula and 190 with mask. Carrying 6 is tough...

Strap a Turbine to the front. She’ll Climb faster

I didn't say get into the habit of power on landings all the time. This is a one day event. Slowly introduce a greater reduction of power over the course of 10-12 landings. Another great way to practice this to have the student fly into ground effect and have them tap the left or right main gear...

The comm two on one of my planes works maybe 10% of the time. Unit gets replaced this week. I flew almost a whole year with it like that. I fly single pilot IFR often in it and it just became habit. I have been picking up atis between handoffs on comm1. I have been using the comm2 to "save"...

No they haven’t. My guess is that the local terrain doesn’t allow that departure to be confidently replaced with gps. But I know nothing on that subject. I tried departing with a “I’ll maintain my own terrain separation” clearance and they wouldn’t play nice with that either Sent from my...

Just curious, why would anybody want to use FS2004 anymore unless it is for nostalgic purposes

Last week I was leaving San Luis Obispo airport at night it. One-minute weather was saying 1/4 visability, it was closer to 1/2. I had to wait for a Bonanza to land before I was released and just after departing a Lancair landed behind me. Despite the tower being closed, everything was very...

Everyone I have ever flown with who sucks at landings does one of two things. 1. They blindly pull back until the plane slams into the ground or 2. they do the "sampling" technique with 0 finese. Both result in the airplane going up before it goes down. Go find a long runway and do a couple...

If I were you I would load up Pilotedge on the simulator at home and dance through the I-ratings. Then show up to your IPC and it'll be mostly refamiliarizing with looking in the panel and getting reacquainted with disorientation. Easy, way cheaper than running an engine and paying an instructor...

I can never guess departure procedures. John Wayne I am like 0-20 in the last year. I am pretty sure they look at what I guess and choose the other one. There are only two options in the direction I go.

You spent all that money on a TXi and probably a GTN and the rest of the works. What do you even need an Ipad in there for?

Ya, anybody can fly an IFR clearance. I have heard of guys who don’t have any certificates file and fly IFR. Is it legal? No Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

No, don't do this. They have an idea on what the winds are doing and are giving you vectors and everyone else vectors based on that same idea. If some people start flying tracks while others fly magnetic headings you are only going to make their job harder. Fly the heading they give you, don't...

It’s a pick what’s going to get you faster thing. In Northern California I have been given reroutes that literally double distance travelled. The worst part is, even if you are vfr they’ll vector you put clear to the valley. Ill play nice for small turns but when they tell me to turn 45 degrees...

Do these have the audio plug? For those of you with Iphones, I just discovered a few weeks ago that Aux to lightning cables exist. Now I don't care if I have the A20 with blutooth built in.

I fly IFR out of pure laziness sometimes. It is so easy. They tell you where to go and how high a couple times, next thing you know the runway is in front of you. Twice this week I have gone to John Wayne and both times it was hard VMC and both times I filed IFR because I didn't feel like...
